Rag-market antics at the temple of bargain apparel
A vivid account describes buyers and sellers at a temple of cloth, where discarded fabrics and fine embroideries lure patrons. A scene shows a woman trying on a black silk dress while a husband comments on its flaws, and a confident American shopper boasts of a bargain caper despite misfit sizing. The narrator notes the lively, cutthroat atmosphere and the intense bargaining culture.
Temple of Paris Markets and a Dog Named the Key of the World
The observer recalls a Temple quarter run by a Jew who furnishes stalls and hosts sellers. The scene recalls Crusader times, noting its use as a treasury under French kings and as a royal prison during the Revolution before 1811.
